Not so much for the beginner but to solve problems: Apache2::Translation provides dynamic request configuration without restarting apache. Similar to .htaccess but with several backends and a nice admin frontend. From another point of view it looks like a perlish mod_rewrite. Works mostly in URI Translation and MapToStorage. If you are interested and know German I can provide a bit of text I am writing (when I have time) and a few images. Apache2::POST200 replaces replies to POST requests with HTTP code 200 with redirects to the same URL. A keyword passed as parameter then tells the server to ship the original answer. When a browser gets an HTTP code 200 as reply to a POST request and the user presses "Reload" the browser asks if it should repost the data. This is annoying and many people don't know how to react. Apache2::POST200 solves that. It can even be deployed on a proxy. Apache2::ModSSL provides access to mod_ssl exported functions like $c->is_https, $c->ssl_var_lookup and $c->ssl_ext_lookup. (The latter looks for x509 certificate extensions.) Don't forget to point out that there is still plenty of work to do to improve mod_perl and that fresh developers are welcome.
